Note: Exactly one of the optional parameters must be set.
  1. The -port and -excludesasport parameters must be specified together.
  2. Exactly one of the optional parameters must be set.

Parameters

Note: Optional parameters are mutually exclusive.
-excludesasport yes | no
(Optional) Excludes or includes the specified SAS port. The -port and -excludesasport parameters must be specified together.
You can use the -force flag if there are dependent volumes.
Important: Using the -force flag might result in loss of access to your data.
-force
(Optional) Forces the enclosure on the canister to be excluded.
Important: Using the -force parameter might result in a loss of access to your data. Use it only under the direction of your product support group or representative.
-reset
(Optional) Resets the enclosure on the canister.
Important: Using the -reset parameter when the partner canister is not online can lead to a loss of access to your drives (and data). Specify lsdependentvdisks - enclosure ID -canister ID to determine if access to the data for one or more volumes is dependent on the canister being reset . Using the -reset parameter might result in a loss of access to your drives (and data). Use it only under the direction of your product support group or representative.
-identify yes | no
(Optional) Changes the state of fault light-emitting diode (LED) either to or from slow_flashing.
-port 1 | 2
(Optional) Specifies the SAS port to include or exclude. The -port and -excludesasport parameters must be specified together.
-canister canister_id
Specifies the canister to which you want to apply the change.
enclosure_id
Specifies the enclosure for which the canister is a member.

Description

This command enables you to modify the properties of an enclosure canister. You must also designate a port (using the -port parameter) when this parameter is used.

An invocation example to exclude SAS port 1 on canister 2 of enclosure 1

chenclosurecanister -excludesasport yes -port 1 -canister 2 1

The resulting output:

No feedback

An invocation example to make the fault LED flash on canister 1 of enclosure 3

chenclosurecanister -identify yes -canister 1 3

The resulting output:

No feedback
